Philadelphia's Witch Hunt have joined the ranks of the Bat and offered up their 3rd & finest full-length yet! Formed in 2001 as a New Jersey trio, Witch Hunt soon moved their brand of aggressive punk to Philadelphia where they expanded their lineup to a four-piece and continued to evolve their sound as abilities caught up to ideas. That evolution is evident in their AT debut, Burning Bridges to Nowhere, which blends the primal rage of hardcore, the melodic-sense of Husker Du, and the moodiness of UK peace-punk into an album that will leave genre-purists scratching their heads and (hopefully) have ALL fans of hardcore-punk walking and/or rocking together a little more often!

Fans of AT's BlackNoise imprint and groups like I OBJECT and NAUSEA and even DISASTER STRIKES will love this, but anyone into melodic punk with screaming female vocals will also dig this! The LP has an insert & a printed inside dust jacket, and the CD is a handsome multipanel digipack!

"Witch Hunt helps to announce a renaissance for Alternative Tentacles in my eyes. Male/female vocals soar over violent, at times even grind core style playing. The call and response vocals on the opening "Blind Eyes Blind Lives" introduce a series of skillfully delivered punk, overflowing with raw emotion and intense playing. The intelligent lyrics (see specifically "Counting Down the Days", "Silence" and "Treadmill March") and crushing grooves (every song) which dominate the record separates Witch Hunt from lesser competitors. "Septa Death" and "Sick Industry" are two more fast-paced, flesh tearing anthems that are perfectly juxtaposed with the sludgy "Void" and the Zen Arcade style of "A Slow Decay". The diversity of the playing keeps this continuously interesting as the band seems to reinvent itself with each passing track. Janine and Nicole Enriquez share vocal responsibilities with Rob Fitzpatrick and each bring a unique style and level of intensity. There are moments of warm harmony, such as "Everyday" and "Plastic Dream", which fight to exist within the waves of aggression. This is a great release."- Jersey Beat

"I dig Witch Hunt, and Burning Bridges to Nowhere is exactly why. Bridging the gap between crust punk and early pop-punk (think Husker Du, not NOFX) immediately seems like a treacherous path to take, but Witch Hunt somehow manage to do that without becoming a laughingstock. Moving easily from medium-paced sing-alongs ('Everyday') to screamy punk anthems ('Counting Down The Days'), Witch Hunt take everything that is now, and was once, awesome about punk rock and make it, well, awesome again. Crusties, spange the 11 bucks or so & buy this fucker!"- Slug Magazine
